They have a great deal on the fudge too and we got so many different flavors to try. Definitely recommend the rocky road, sea salt caramel, and even their plain chocolate was delicious.

I have not come across a flavor I haven't liked. I use the toolbox for my tools so it's a win win. Treats for the soul, home for the tools. They have very fair pricing and it's a home business, so each item is made with love and care. I highly recommend checking them out.

Dear Vicky, Not sure why it's so difficult to purchase items…read moreat your shop, i.e. Bread or Cookies. The available items mentioned always seem to be a chore as many, many times, we come to your cute bakery to hear the following excuses/reasons: Out of bread Didn't make bread today, because of xyz Out of cookes Didn't bake cookies today, because of xyz Store closed early Etc We have been coming to your shop for a very long time and today tried again to see a closed sign and yellow tape, maybe someone painted the walkway? Your only open 4 days and we just can't continue coming any longer. Personally, in my past I owned not 1 but 2 bakeries and never made it so difficult for customers. Your products are fabulous when you find time to put the time into actually baking them

My cousin and I stumbled upon this place a couple months ago and we were SO IMPRESSED!! The shop…read moreis ADORABLE and extremely inviting!! We bought a bunch of stuff and everything was OH SO GOOD!!! I was lucky enough to get a loaf of chocolate sour dough bread with peanut butter chips that was extra from a special order. Best bread I have ever had!!! My husband and I ate it everyday for breakfast until it was gone and it was gone way too fast!!! I can't even explain the taste and texture of the lemon cookies, I can only say they are BEYOND DELICIOUS!!! Like nothing I have ever had, except for yesterday when my husband and I stopped in to pick up an order (2 loaves of that yummy chocolate sour dough, which was still warm and the whole shop smelled like it when we walked in...omg!!) and we tried the Blueberry Lemon cookies!! I seriously can't describe how good their cookies are!! We also tried one of their buttermilk cinnamon doughnuts...I really don't have words for how good that was either!! Looks like an apple cider doughnut, which I love, but this was even better! Both times I have been there, the service was exceptional! It was easy to place an order via Facebook Messenger and I received the invoice quickly by email, paid immediately and couldn't wait to go pick up my stuff!! There was plenty of communication about my order and I was notified of when it was ready to pick up. I also ordered some lemon cookies, one of which I just had and YUMMMMMMMMM!!! Just YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!! I will be back!!!!

The trio who were working obviously love their jobs, love ice cream and love making waffle cones.

We decided we definitely needed chocolate and were afraid it would be closed later so stepped in to grab some chocolate for after dinner. There were SO many choices! There was all kinds of chocolate, fudge, caramel apples and cookies as well as ice cream. I decided on two milk chocolate sea salt caramels. They were pricey -- $2 each. I ate them after dinner -- probably should have waited for them to warm up after sitting in the cold car but they were still good.

The line for donuts was long but the folks in the bakery section worked their butts off to keep the line moving. Only issue was we ordered 8 donuts and a few other items ( cookies, fritters) but realized when we got home we only had 3 donuts, huge disappointment because they were the best donuts ever!! Everything else was delicious as well. They have fruits and veggies for sale in the other area of the store, tons of options and amazing prices( cherries $2lb, squash 1.69lb etc) they also have shelves full of different jams,jellies, apple butters, honey etc ! Staff were restocking and cleaning the entire time we were there so the place is clean as well. They were running out of some of the produce, mostly berries, by the time we left but with amazing prices like that it's certainly expected.
